Thank-you ALL for the great advise much appreciated.I will say though sitting on my couch in front of computer and my tv on i am sweating though. My only problem i'm having is this I know of some people who quit smoking many years ago only to be diagnosed later with some form of cancer due to smoking.Quitting is the hardest and i surely don't want to quit only to find out it didn't matter anyway.Yes i know how will you know if you never quit.

BRANDONLEE -

I smoked for years before I quit. I've had my lungs checked several times since then and I was told they're in good shape, as if I'd never smoked.

It's never too late to help yourself out Smile

Even if that's the case, Brandonlee, I bet you'll feel better and avoid emphysema and other nasty cigarette related conditions.

There has been a lot on our news about e-cigs. They are being banned in a lot of places & pieces of metal have been found in the vapor. I would pass on those.

Do you have a source for that, please?

they are allowed here in bars and in Sky Harbor airport. I haven't heard anything about them being banned in a lot of places. It's a huge move to allow them in the airport which has been totally smoke-free for years.

Some states are banning them indoors, but not AZ as far as I know.

E-cigs will make it easier Brandonlee. Trust me. I never would have succeeded without them. They help to take that edge off and help to get your mind off the intense craving you feel right now.

I worked with a nurse who smoked for 35 years and just assumed she would die with a cigarette in her hand. Better-half, too, was someone who had smoked since he was a teenager and quitting seemed like an impossibility. Both tried vaping and gave up tobacco immediately.

I would recommend vaping over any prescription medication. Too many horror stories about Chantix. Better-half now collects different flavors -- all wonderful to smell -- and it's funny to see how the smell of tobacco smoke offends him. He can smell it coming from a car three lanes away.

Now I don't smell smoke on him or in his closet. The best part? His cough disappeared overnight. I wouldn't have believed it.

The trick is to find the right system for you. Some are poor so vaping won't work for you. Do the research and get the best one you can find -- it'll be worth it.
